These include <a href="/wiki/Endeavor_Air" title="Endeavor Air">Endeavor Air</a>, a wholly owned subsidiary, <a href="/wiki/Republic_Airways" title="Republic Airways">Republic Airways</a>, and <a href="/wiki/SkyWest_Airlines" title="SkyWest Airlines">SkyWest Airlines</a>. These agreements are primarily capacity purchase arrangements, where Delta controls scheduling, pricing, reservations, ticketing, and seat inventories for the flights. Delta is entitled to all ticket, cargo, mail, in-flight, and ancillary revenues from these flights, while paying the regional airlines a defined amount based on their operating costs and market rates. These capacity purchase agreements are typically long-term, often lasting at least ten years with an option to extend. Some agreements grant Delta the right to terminate or remove certain aircraft for convenience at specific future dates. Additionally, SkyWest Airlines operates some flights under a revenue proration agreement, which divides the revenue for connecting flight itineraries based on a fixed dollar or percentage division.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A <a href="/wiki/Scope_clause" title="Scope clause">scope clause</a> agreement between Delta Air Lines and its mainline pilots union, the <a href="/wiki/Air_Line_Pilots_Association" class="mw-redirect" title="Air Line Pilots Association">Air Line Pilots Association</a>, limits the number and size of aircraft that may be flown by Delta Connection.
